Have it checked out:
It sounds like you have a series of "lumps" or lymph nodes that are painful particularly on your left side. You should have it checked out to make sure there isn't an infection going on. Don't forget that the lymph nodes act as a drainage and filtration system to try to stop infection. They will swell and be painful. You also want to be sure the lymph nodes are not swollen because of cancer.

See ENT:
It sounds like you have a neck mass and this is concerning to me. Ideally an ENT surgeon (otolaryngology - head and neck surgeon) should see you and evaluate your neck. It may just be inflammatory lymph nodes but it is best to have ENT check it out.

Can be anything!:
Hard painful lumps and bumps need to be evaluated by your PCP, or dermatologist for further evaluation. Depending if there's an additional red ring around it, or if it's nodular, or if it has any other associate findings will determine what it could be. So a physical examination needs to be done for definitive diagnosis.

Neck pop:
You may have had a neck sprain or muscle spasm. It's hard to say without a thorough history and exam, but i'd be on the lookout for any numbness/weakness/tingling in your arms, especially on the left side. That could signify nerve impingement. Make sure you get this checked out properly by your doctor! best of luck!

See doctor:
Did you recently suffer head trauma or a blow to the head in anyway? Has this been developing for some time or is it brand-new and it's onset? Do you have a history of headaches which preceded the lump on your head or vice versa? A physician should examine you and order at least an x-ray of the skull if the bump is felt to be something other than the skull itself.

Different options:
The neck has a lot of things in it both in the skin and below it. Sweat glands, hair follicles and skin cysts as well as lymph nodes, fatty tissue, blood vessels and other things.

See below:
A lump "under the right armpit and another below ribs" which feels numb...is too vague of a description to give any meaningful advice. A physician would want to examine it and know how long it's been present and if it is tender.
Depending on the size, location, tenderness etc it could
be any one of a number of things. If concerned it's best to have a physician examine the area.
